Another year has passed for CKDC. This year was marked by great strides toward professionalizing the company, the honor of being awarded 501c3, another research trip out west and finally, a new home by and for this organization. We took our first class in our new space this evening. I really couldn't believe that we were dancing on a floor that we built with our own hands. Our studio is beautiful; extraordinary natural light, seven foot mirrors that span the entire length of our 800 square foot dance space and go all the way to the floor, a leveling subfloor atop a finished sprung subfloor and soon to be marley on top. Our windowsills are garnished with succulents and tealight candles and we have a whole second studio next door, just waiting to be built. This could have been a scary path to take for many, but we have felt the overwhelming love and support of our clients, students, patrons and community that give us more than enough strength required to pursue our dreams and passions. We look forward to growing with you and making art together. Thank you for taking this journey with us, supporting us in our first year of being a nonprofit and for everything you continue to do as part of the CKDC dance family. I can't wait to see what beautiful things come out of this space.

With love and gratitude,

Arica
